Eh, free speech works both ways. She is obviously a member of the perpetually offended class, but she has given them oodles of free publicity. If this were a story about the university censoring the Republicans I'd be concerned, but as it is, this is just vigorous free speech and the prof lost a public debate by losing her cool.

And people wonder why a college education costs so much, and why colleges claim they are cash strapped. Get rid of all the sexual fetish programs, the ethnic separatism degrees, and the las vegas style campus building program and maybe universities will be able to compete with those of India and China someday.

Parents have to stop using their life savings to send their children to universities populated by this kind of human debris.

You raise your children with the proper values and then turn them over to these perverts and communists so they may brainwash your wonderful children....AND YOU PAY THEM A FORTUNE TO DO IT!

Stop it!

Starve these indoctrination camps of their income and they will die a well-deserved death.

Have the universities of the United States turned out effective and informed leaders who understand how the world really works? OR...

Have the universities of the United States turned out complete morons like this woman, Barack Obama and his clueless jackass-sycophants who are now leading this country into economic and moral ruin because they cannot find their asses with both hands groping?

We had a far better country with fewer universities and fewer college graduates.

...Why has marriage become so central to questions of gay/lesbian rights? How has this happened when lesbians and gay men are themselves so divided over the issue? I would like to outline a few ways that we might think about these questions. I base my comments on the research I carried out on same-sex commitment ceremonies (Recognizing Ourselves: Ceremonies of Lesbian and Gay Commitment, 1998), on other anthropological work Ive done with lesbian and gay families in the US, and on my own experience as a participant in the struggle to achieve the right to marry.

My views on this issue, which had long rested on a radical antipathy to marriage as a patriarchal institution, shifted dramatically after my spouse and I were united in a Jewish ceremony in 1992 and after I studied some 60 same-sex couples who staged commitment ceremonies of various kinds  none at that time legally sanctioned...

Just think: Just about every problem we face today is because of Harvard grads. Harvard which is suppose to be one of our top schools, but instead is nothing more than a bastion for liberal twits. It might have been a good school 100 years ago, today it’s an overrated joke that lays on it’s laurels while spewing out one absolute moron after another. Barney Frank, Jamie Gorelick, Ted Kennedy, B. Hussein Obama, Al Gore, all Harvard grads. Just think; If it wasn’t for them, the financial crisis wouldn’t have happened, 911 wouldn’t have happened, the US wouldn’t have turned into a virtual Tower of Babel, and our entire economy wouldn’t be constantly threatened by junk science. Teaching basic common sense is just entirely gone in that school and it doesn’t suprise me in the least that their most successful alumni are the ones who dropped out.
